"Candy Land" is Moving Forward

Universal Pictures has set Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder) to write and Kevin Lima (Enchanted) to direct a live-action feature based on "Candy Land," the enduring Hasbro board game.

Project is the first film to emerge from the deal Universal made last February with Hasbro, whose properties are the basis for the summer tentpole films "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra" and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."

The kid-friendly board game isn't as obvious an inspiration for a movie project as those other Hasbro brands, but the studio has tapped talent adept at comedy and family fare.

I think this is going to be a horror with humans eating candy people. You'll see carmel innards coming out of them and cherry hearts ripped out of there gram cracker bodys! it's like humans are zombies to them lol........the ginger people that....live....there..... "looks around" WHAT!
